.htaccess: FilterProvider issue

Question

this is probably really simple, but my coder is on holiday and out of comms and I'm a graphic designer with fairly basic HTML and CSS knowledge. This is beyond me.

One of our client sites is getting this issue:

.htaccess: FilterProvider takes three arguments, filter-name provider-name match-expression

I think it relates to this section of the .htaccess file, but I'm damned if I know what the answer is:

# Force deflate for mangled headers developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/12/pushing-beyond-gzipping/
SetEnvIfNoCase ^(Accept-EncodXng|X-cept-Encoding|X{15}|~{15}|-{15})$ ^((gzip|deflate)\s*,?\s*)+|[X~-]{4,13}$ HAVE_Accept-Encoding RequestHeader append Accept-Encoding "gzip,deflate" env=HAVE_Accept-Encoding

# HTML, TXT, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, XML, HTC:
FilterDeclare COMPRESS
FilterProvider COMPRESS DEFLATE resp=Content-Type $text/html
FilterProvider COMPRESS DEFLATE resp=Content-Type $text/css
FilterProvider COMPRESS DEFLATE resp=Content-Type $text/plain

FilterProtocol COMPRESS DEFLATE change=yes;byteranges=no

# Legacy versions of Apache
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/css application/json
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml application/xml text/x-component
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon image/svg+xml application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf font/opentype

If anyone can help out, I'd be extremely grateful!

if you could post the .htaccess file with line breaks in place, that would make it extremely easier to help — Jaromanda X
Formatting sorted. Thanks for that Link, Jaromanda X, but I'll be honest, I have no idea what that means :( — MrJalco

replace

FilterDeclare COMPRESS
...
...
...
FilterChain COMPRESS
FilterProtocol COMPRESS DEFLATE change=yes;byteranges=no

with

FilterDeclare   COMPRESS
FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE "%{Content_Type} = 'text/html'"
FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE "%{Content_Type} = 'text/css'"
FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE "%{Content_Type} = 'text/plain'"
FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE "%{Content_Type} = 'text/xml'"
FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE "%{Content_Type} = 'text/x-component'"
FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE "%{Content_Type} = 'application/javascript'"
FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE "%{Content_Type} = 'application/json'"
FilterProvider  COMPRESS  DEFLATE "%{Content_Type} = 'application/xml'"
